\ VERDICT FOR $4,000
Against Isaac Beckett, Esq in the
Dettre Bond Case.

The case OF Mrs. +. F. J. Dettre VS..
Isaac Beckett. ESQ.,. IN the City Court,
was concluded Yesterday afternoon. The
evidence on both sides, while diff ring on
some minor points. did not, in the opinion
OF the court, vary on any material poiut,
and at last resolved itself mainly into
questions of legal liabilities.
The action grew out oil business trans
actions occurring during the years 1881
and 1882. In june, 1881, the husband OF
The plaintiff placed in the hands OF the
defendant bonds of the city of Savannah
of the par value of Sl2, 900, to be used by
him, on joint account OF the parties, in
specializing in Central railroad stock,
then on the verge Of the boom produced
by rumors Of the famous Ocean Steam
ship dividend. The bonds were deposited
by the defendant in the hands or a we'll
known broker as margins" for the pur-
chase of stock, for the mutual profit of
plaintiff and defendant.
In the crash which, in 1882, followed
the boom, Central bled from $40 to $50
per share, and the margin was sacrificed,
and the bonds were sold to meet the
losses. The present action was brought
by the plaintiff to recover from the de-
PENDANT the value OF the bonds at the
time they were so delivered, the declara-
ton claiming $4,000 as principal and in
teFest. "A
ln defense seven pleas were filed, but
the jury, under the charge of the court,
rendered a verdict against the defendant
for the gross sum of $l0,220 as principal
and Interest. The case involves many
delicate legal points and questions OF les al
liability, and was handled In mastery
manner by the counsel engaged In it.
Every possible point was taken as TO the
rulings OF the court on questions of law.
After the verdict was announced. the
counsel for defendant gave notice of mo-
ton for new trial, 50 that the intricate
principles involved will nave to be finally
adjudicated by the Supreme Court next
fall. J. r. Saussy, Esq, represents the

Mrs. Mary l.. Lathrop delivered at the
Wesley Monumental Church last night

solution OF the great temperance ques'
lion.
The audience was not large, but Mrs.
Lathrop spoke with such positiveness
and decision upon matters relating to the
temperance question that she was given
ihp closest attention, she is an impress
sive speaker, and is one Of The ablest
sent out by the bureau under the auspices
OF which she is travelling.

Union will meet TINS afternoon, and Mrs.
Lathrop Is expected TO be present at the
meeting. The union is preparing for the
State convention, which meets here next
month, and is making an effort to increase
it's membership, 80 that it will be able to
show the visiting delegates that the or
ganiZation is not merely name in Savan-
nah but live Institution. 1t was 10

CHATTAHoOCHGEs LIBEL.
The Owners of the Bark Pohona
Want Heavy Damages.


A libel was filed Yesterday in the United
States District Court for so, 900 against
the steamship ChattahoOcnee, OF the
Ocean Steamship Company's line. The
iibellants are John Jardine and Thomas
Jardine, of Kingston. Kent county, N. b. :,
and their proctor is K. q. Erwin, Esq.
The libellants are the owners of the
British bark Pomona, which was run into
by the ChattahOOche four miles below the
city Jan. 27, 1887. On the day previous
the BARK entered the river with a cargo
OF salt IRON Liverpool. The day OF tue
collision she started up the river, but as
the wind vas blowing from the south west
She anchored in the stream, but as the
hbellants claim at a point where there
was plenty of room for vessels to pass on
either side OF her.
According to the bill the night was
clear and the Pohona was showing a
white light in her starboard fore rigging.
The Chattaho0cbee was carrying an cleo
trio light on her bow and was seen bv the
watch on the bark a mile off. When
about quarter Of a mile OF the steamer
shaped her course as il TO pass on the
north side OF the bark. The steamer kept
on that course, the hbellanJ's charge,
until she got very close TO the Pomona,
when she changed suddenly, as IL to pass
on the south side OF the bark. The change
was too late, and the Chattahoochee's bow
struck the bark on the port side Just for
ward OF the miZZen chains, cutting
through below the light water line. The
steamer backed off, laid to for while
and then proceeded to New York.
The Pohona's cargo had to be shifted
and the next day she was lowed up to the
city. She is 1856 tons register net, and was
valued at $25, 900 by her owners before the
accident. They say that it will take q
long time to have the vessel repaired, and
they ask to be reimbursed for all damages.
